Milan, Cardinale stays in the city. And he goes with Furlani to lunch at Milanello

RedBird’s number one remains in Milan due to commitments already made: the reason is not linked to the European collapse. The question of the stadium and Ibra is on the table, but also a meeting with Pioli at the Rossoneri sports centre

A necessary premise: he stayed because he already had plans to stay, and not based on the desolate outcome of last night’s match. Gerry Cardinale remained in Milan and this is basically news because usually the RedBird number one leaves again to go about his business the day after the matches he attends. It is equally true, however, that sometimes Cardinale arrives in Milan the day before the match, in order to be able to directly carry out the most important aspects of managing the club. This time he had only landed in the city in the hours before the match, so an “appendix” the next day is absolutely logical.

The aim, however, is not to open up the Rossoneri’s state of crisis. So much so that Cardinale’s agenda also included, at the last moment, a blitz at Milanello, where this morning the team underwent the classic cool-down session the following day. CEO Furlani also showed up in Carnago, because after yesterday’s match it takes a moment to face each other between ownership, management and coach. Cardinale and Furlani are having lunch at the Rossoneri sports center and then throughout the day the RedBird number one – whose commitments as always are under strict confidentiality – could/should carry forward the two situations that he has been personally dealing with for some time. That is, the stadium and Ibrahimovic. As regards San Donato, in recent days Scaroni and Furlani have essentially said goodbye to any residual hypothesis about staying in the San Siro area, pointing out that the project in the San Francesco area is continuing with mutual satisfaction. While for Ibra, well, the white smoke will almost certainly arrive and it really seems to be only a matter of time. Announcement may not be imminent, but a deal is being finalized. The two spoke a bit last night at San Siro, but it’s one thing to do it in the chaos of the stadium, another in the confines of a hotel.
